Beginner Gardening: Cherry Tomato Seedlings, 1 by MonkeyFlower

I planted 5 small pots with 2 tomato seeds in each, thinking I wouldn't have great success with germination, but most of them germinated and now I have pots with 2 healthy looking seedlings. (At least they look healthy to me!). I'm not much good at separating roots, so I think I'm going to have to snip off one of them so that eventually I'll be left with one seedling per pot, for transplanting to a larger pot.

Do I need to wait a bit longer for transplanting? I know that when transplanting, I should add compost until it reaches the first 2 leaves, but should I add more compost to the existing pot, to strengthen the plant?

Thanks.
